Mazibakufa Park Development in Jackalas I
The project intends to address environmental challenges like unsustainable community harvesting of natural resources entailing excessive removal of vegetation (ie medicinal plants, wild fruits and thatching grass), destruction of archaelogical artefacts, threatened rock rabbit species and soil mining. The above mentioned challenges have resulted in loss of envirionmental beauty in the area.
The project aims to addrees the above challenges through conservation of existing vegetation, wild animals and soil, introduction of indigenous species of vegetation types and rehabilitation of archaelogical artefacts by developing a park. In the long term a traditional village will be set up to serve tourists and provide environmental conservation to the community.
